See Why Guests Were Inside Magic Kingdom at 5AM Yesterday

Picture this: you’re meditating on a yoga mat in front of a lit-up Cinderella Castle with the park calm and quiet around you. Life is good.

By Stephen Bynum 1 Comment

We stayed at Disney’s Star Wars Hotel and it’s time to find out if this truly is a “revolutionary vacation experience” or a failure. It’s time to weigh in on what makes this hotel so contentious among fans, so outrageous to Disney outsiders looking at that $6,000 price tag, and so alluring for the folks who have already booked their outer space vacations.

We’ve seen the movies. Let’s be real here. Princess Leia isn’t exactly wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and flip flops on all of her adventures. So what if you arrive at the Star Wars Hotel, see the fully in-theme characters around you, and suddenly feel the urge to put giant buns in your hair and wear a FULL Star Wars-inspired outfit (that you will then pull out of your closet once a year to wear for no reason whatsoever)? Or maybe you just want to buy a trinket to commemorate your experience? Don’t panic! Like any good Disney experience, even in space there’s a gift shop! ⭐MERCHANDISING!⭐

From full-on outfits, to shirts, to water bottles — we’re covering it all for you.
